 "Your son has a tendency to disrupt the class." Mrs. Hansen said, shooting me a look. Ever been dragged to parent teacher conferences because your teachers told you you had to go? Oh. No? Well I have.


"So did I." Michael said with a laugh. Luke rolled his eyes and looked at me before looking back at Mrs. Hansen.


"He can't be that bad." Luke said with his eyebrows furrowed. Oh Lord. Ha! You have no idea daddio. Hansen cleared her throat and reached in a drawer, pulling out a stack of papers,dropping them on her desk. It was about, lets say, 3 inches tall?


"This is all of the office referrals I have given him this year." She said. Luke licked his lips then bit one as he tried not to laugh. Michael however did laugh, earning a glare from Hansen. He then coughed into a fist, trying to cover it up. "So I'm going to guess that from your laughter, this is how your 11th year went?"


"Oh, no, I dropped out at year 10." Michael said. "And Luke finished school online so..."


"Oh right, you were both in that band." She said with a sigh.


"Oh so you know who we are?" Luke asked her.


"Who didn't know who you were?" She asked him. Luke shrugged his shoulders.


"I mean, I know somebody my age who hasn't heard one Beatles song, nor do they are so..." He trailed.


"Ok, we're done here." She said, getting up and opening the door. We all walked out and she let the next family in, closing the door.


"Where to next?" Luke asked me. I shrugged my shoulders.


"We've seen everybody." I said.


"Umm... I don't recall meeting your hot homeroom teacher." Michael said.


"Ooh yes lets." Luke said, walking and us following. We made it there and Michael was the first to walk in.


"Damn Luke, he is hot." Michael said. I walked in, rubbing my face as I did so. Mr. Xavier looked up and blushed as Michael stared at him.


"Right?" Luke asked.


"Hey Ryan." Xavier said, smiling at me. I waved and sat down in a front row desk.

"Really? He hasn't gotten any from me. But, and don't tell anyone I told you this, but Mrs. Hansen is just a right bitch." Xavier said.


"Guess how big the stack was." I said, he looked at me. "About 3 inches tall."


"Seriously?" He asked me. "Wow that's-"


"Hey fam!" Josh said, walking into the room. I turned sideways to face him and he smiled as he walked over to me, sitting on my lap. His parents walked in behind him."So I was forced to come here."


"So was Ryan." Luke said.


"How big?" Josh asked me.


"3 inches."


"4." He said. My jaw dropped. "I win."


"Is that why you have so many? You guys were competing?" Sarah, Josh's mom asked.


"It didn't start as one if that helps." I said. "We just kind of got to the point where we both had so many we decided to see who could get the most by conferences."


"You guys are idiots." Luke said, rolling his eyes.


"I'm having a hard time letting this settle in my brain." Xavier said with a laugh, my dads joining in. "I just looked up to you guys when I was younger. Like, I wanted to be Calum."


"Ok, lets stick to Calum because... Why?" Michael asked, making all of us laugh.


"I don't know. I fell in love with the bass and with your music so I mean..."


"Thank you." They said at the same time.


"Don't give them too much credit, it'll get to there heads." Richard, who is Josh's dad, said.


"Don't listen to him." Michael said.
